Kyle Rittenhouse’s Family: We’re His Collateral Damage
thedailybeast.com

The far-right darling is accused of leaving his mom and sister high and dry as they fight eviction.

Kyle Rittenhouse has been publicly dragged by his own family, who say the far-right darling has left them high and dry as his mother and sister brace for eviction from their home. 

Faith, Kyle’s sister, put out a desperate plea for help on May 29, setting up a GoFundMe to help fight their eviction notice.

“With my brother’s unwillingness to provide support or contribute to our family, we’ve been left to navigate this journey on our own,” she added. 

Her family has “exhausted every resource available to us,” she wrote, and “time is running out.”

When I was in the hospital we tried to like talk to my brother, we tried to like to tell his lawyer to tell like my brother like I was maybe needing surgery or like I was in the hospital, I never heard from him,” Faith told viewers of the V-Radio podcast.

You raised an asshole. You pay the price.

Sorry, but this is just plain evil. And we're talking about his sister here who should be considered blameless.

I understand that this isn't about being rational, but being outraged.

This is not about outrage. This is about consequences of ones deeds.

And since when is "sister" not family? Didn't she care growing up with a racist brother?

Yeah she should've slit his throat when they were in grade school if she didn't want to be judged for...checks notes...having a brother.

You have no idea what the mom or sister did or did not do growing up or what Kyle was like. Again, it's not about being rational, it's about being outraged.

Nature vs nurture. How much is it the parents' fault?

I don't think that racism and hate is "nature" thing at all. And his guns did not grow on trees, either.
